Stop looking at fantasy settings and its cultural dialogue through contemporary utilitarian lenses. Your present reasoning and thoughts are a direct result of sociocultural narratives, they're not objectively reasonable or the apex of human thought.

>>97352887Autists can't interface with subtext and abstracts, ofc it's meaningless to you
>>97352887>StrawmanWhat strawman? That is literally a post somebody made.The context was >Adventurers traditionally go dungeon delving because they are broke and need money desperately, no backstory needed

>>97353471why seethe all thread long
>>97353471I'm currently studying the Togail Bruidne Da Derga.Did you ever hear of the one-eyed pirate Ingcél Caech, and the death of High King Conaire Mor, who broke his three Geis?No, of course you didn't.You fucking faggot.
>>97353549Yep, you're not a mythographer. Thanks for confirming it.
>>97353551>Nooooo, Noooooo, people don't have real interests>Everybody is a brainless gooner who jerks off all day and consumes corporate slop>Just like meeeeeeeeeeee!May you meet the fate of the children of Tuirean.
>>97353562Nope, not what I said. You're not a mythographer.
>>97352832OP's picture post has a faggot. My character's story is that he's a farmboy that worked long enough to get his gear then set out to see the world. I don't need misery porn wanking for my character.
>>97353568You're not qualified to say what anybody is.Because you are literally nobody.Mythology has been my prime interest since I was six.I've read the Illiad and the Oddyssey and the Aenieid and the Lusiads, and Ovid's Metamorphosis, and made my own studies of comparative mythology.I am a mythographer.And you are a jealous faggo.
>>97352832nah, my characters will have random background because fuck you railroad Daggerheart trannies
>>97353574Yep, you're not a mythographer.
>>97353577You're not qualified to say who is and who is not a mythographer.What's more, you are probably a gay pedophile, who likes feet.
>>97353580Yep, you're not a mythographer.
>>97352832>so btfo a day ago they have to make a new thread about it lmao, wasn't there for that but damn OP you are chapped. Side note, you can't posit the >everything is a cultural lensand >stop using your cultural lensat the same time. You're about 1/3rd of the way there and I know you're excited about whatever words your prof used when you got back from holidays but think a few sentences at a time.
>>97353580You are a mythographer
>>97353595the ">" is for quoting, you are hallucinating arguments that weren't made, im afraid
>>97353581Lmao.Sure mate, sure.>nobody is anything they claim to be>everybody is a gay know-nothing loser like me>the only power I can exert over this conversation is my saying "no" over and over again like a retard who doesn't want to eat his vegetablesMy favourite spheres of study are the Greek myths, because I grew up on them, reading the Metamorphosis in particular is not a great primer though, because Ovid was a satirist, and his depictions of the Olympian pantheon were sometimes borderline scandalous.Also, that book is replete with swipes at his contemporaries, mostly in the form implicit parody.By actual current sphere of interest is that intersection of syncretism where Irish monks started writing down Pagan myths and working them into an appendix to biblical narratives.The Togail, which I mentioned above is one of few relatively "untampered" texts, it's name meaning the "The Downfall of Da Derga's Hostel" "Da Derga" being "The Red God" - many northern brythonnic gods are associated to the colour red, but this god is presumed to be Donn, who is the underworld progenitor-god of the Gaels.The original text used formulaic speech and repetition, because it is drawn from an oral tradition; this is very evident when Ingcel Caech uses his single huge magical eye to peer inside the hostel where the king's warriors are billeted; the warriors he spies inside are described with verses that are variations on a theme, and somewhat repetetive.I've been working out the beats of the story and unpicking the ritual language as it basically impossible to transliterate nicely in a way that preserves the form of the narrative and those very particular forms of speech.Now excuse me, I'm going to go back to my fucking books, you tuppenny barracks-wife.
>>97353640Yep, you're not a mythographer.
See how he can't help himself? He thinks anyone gives a shit about his dumbass books LOL
>>97353642And you don't have a valid opinion on that.Which I have now readily demonstrated for all and sundry.You bleating repetitive homo.
>>97353656Yep, you're not a mythographer.
>>97353656You are making these zoomers seethe
>>97353658Yep, and you're a gay baby who got upset that I like my games to be full of rape and incest.And you're lashing out because I dared display a point of pride, which is something you have none of.You cannot reveal any part of yourself, because that would require you to defend something.And whatever you are, clearly there is not much worth defending.I am a based mythographer.And you are a rat-faced baby-fucker who needs to go back to r*ddit.
